The Divine Doctor and Adorable Consort: The Demonic Emperor is Too Cunning

Fang Qingyou remained stunned for a long time. In her dream, the purple eyes felt so real that when she woke up, she still felt the intense sensation of being probed.

A quick glance around revealed that while the pair of eyes were not visible, some light was already filtering into the room.

Only then did reason gradually return from the dream.

"Isn't it getting late?"

Mingyue nodded slightly: "Yes, it is indeed getting late. Miss, are you feeling unwell?"

"What's wrong?" Fang Qingyou asked, puzzled as to why Mingyue would ask such a question.

"Miss, I've been calling you for a while, but I haven't been able to wake you up, so I'm worried about your health." Mingyue's eyes showed some concern.

Fang Qingyou was a little surprised. Usually, she would wake up automatically at the appointed time. It was very rare for her to fall asleep and not wake up. She could probably be counted on one hand. No wonder Mingyue was worried about her.

"I'm fine, I just had a dream and haven't woken up yet. Time is of the essence, we should hurry up and pack, so we don't end up being late for Grand Tutor Yuan's banquet." The dream felt strange and real, and Fang Qingyou didn't want to say more about it.

Mingyue didn't ask any more questions and immediately began to help Fang Qingyou with her hair and makeup.

When it came to choosing who would lead the young ladies and gentlemen of the Fang family to the banquet at Grand Tutor Yuan's residence, Fang Xing'an finally decided on his fourth concubine, Zhang Shi, who was Fang Qingyun's birth mother.

In fact, Fang Xing'an originally intended for Ren to take him to the Yuan residence. Although Ren's family had long since declined, they were once a prestigious family, and Ren could be considered a descendant of a prestigious family.

Moreover, both in appearance and demeanor, Ms. Ren was presentable.

Moreover, she has a daughter who was recently granted the title of Princess of Ping'an by the Emperor.

However, after he told the Ren family about it, the Ren family had no intention of attending the banquet, and Fang Qingyou gave him a reasonable reason to refuse.

Ms. Ren's pregnancy is still unstable, so she should not travel long distances or exert herself too much.

Left with no other choice, Fang Xing'an had to settle for second best and chose Zhang.

Zhang was a concubine he took into his family after he became the Minister of Works. Although she was just a concubine's daughter from a minor noble family, she was still a woman from a noble family and was presentable.

Although he had many wives and concubines in his household, apart from Lady Ren, only Lady Zhang was capable of undertaking this important task.

Zhang is gentle and mild-mannered, and although she seems to act slowly, she is able to handle everything well.

The Fang family, in a grand procession of four carriages, headed to the Yuan family residence.

Fang Qingyou and Fang Runhui, the eldest son of the Fang family, each rode in a separate carriage. Fang Qingyun, Fang Qingtong, and Zhang Shi rode in one carriage, while Fang Qingman, Fang Qingwei, and Fang Qingrong rode in another carriage.

This time, almost all the young ladies and gentlemen of the Fang family went, except for the second young master Fang Runzhi and the third young master Fang Runting.

Fang Runting was unable to attend the banquet because he was in the south, while Fang Runzhi was left at the Fang residence because he had some intellectual disabilities.

Except for Fang Qingyou, everyone else in the group was extremely excited, hoping to find a suitable partner at the banquet.

The young ladies and gentlemen of the Fang family are all quite old, yet none of them are yet engaged.

The oldest, Fang Runhui, is already nineteen years old. Many young men from prominent families his age already have children who can run around, but he is still unmarried.

This outcome was all due to the sudden passing of the old lady three years ago, which forced the young masters and ladies of the Fang family to observe three years of mourning.

During the three-year mourning period, the young masters and ladies of the Fang family are not allowed to discuss marriage.

Hearing that this rule was set by Old Master Fang, Fang Qingyou couldn't help but wonder if Old Master Fang knew something and was taking revenge on Zhou Shi.

Because of this three-year period, Zhou's children were basically all considered older and unmarried.

Fang Qingyou was filled with trepidation. She was worried that Luo Qianmo would once again ask Emperor Mingde for her hand in marriage.

As for Emperor Mingde, it's uncertain whether he would grant his marriage proposal.

Although they could still be together even if Emperor Mingde disagreed, children always hope to receive their parents' blessings when they get married.

Originally, she had never been determined to marry Luo Qianmo, so Emperor Mingde refused Luo Qianmo's request.

But now, she realizes that Luo Qianmo has left an indelible mark on her heart, and she can no longer be as carefree as before.

The carriage from the Fang residence sped along the road, and the group of people, each with their own thoughts, soon arrived at the Yuan residence.

The area in front of the Yuan residence was truly bustling with activity, a veritable sea of ​​carriages and horses.

The young masters and ladies from various prominent families practically broke down the gates of the Yuan residence; it was packed with people everywhere.

Seeing the scene outside, Fang Qingyou couldn't help but twitch her lips. This situation was just like a popular blind date scene in modern society.

The carriage from the Fang residence had barely stopped when Fang Qingman eagerly rushed out, snorted coldly, and curled the corners of her lips in a smug smile.

Hmph, Fang Qingwei thinks she can outdo her? No way!

Now that she's the first to get off the carriage, the first person everyone notices is undoubtedly her, Miss Fang the Second.

After getting off the carriage, Fang Qingman realized that she was not particularly attractive among the group of young ladies from aristocratic families.

The young ladies from various noble families were all dressed up meticulously, adorned with flowers, and dazzlingly beautiful. She was like a splash of color in that sea of ​​vibrant colors, and was quickly submerged in the magnificent floral display.

This discovery infuriated Fang Qingman.

This was the first time she had ever noticed how many young ladies from noble families there were in Kyoto! It was so many it was almost annoying.

Fang Qingwei stepped off the carriage a step later than Fang Qingman and stood next to her, instantly overshadowing Fang Qingman.

Fang Qingwei usually dressed simply, exuding a scholarly air. She stood there quietly, seemingly serene and untouched by worldly strife.

But today, Fang Qingwei was dressed in a gorgeous outfit, with exquisite makeup. In addition, she was more beautiful than her twin sister Fang Qingman, taller, and had a more elegant demeanor.

Therefore, after she stood next to Fang Qingman, Fang Qingman, who originally looked like a young lady from a noble family, suddenly became an unbearably vulgar woman.

Compared to each other, one is like a beautiful and charming lady from a respectable family, while the other is like a vulgar and tasteless woman.

After Fang Qingman appeared, some eyes glanced in her direction, but after Fang Qingwei stood next to her, those eyes immediately and without hesitation shifted to Fang Qingwei.

When Fang Qingman noticed something was wrong, she glared angrily at Fang Qingwei.

"Fang Qingwei, what do you mean?"

Fang Qingwei seemed oblivious to Fang Qingman's anger, and simply smiled faintly: "Second sister, I didn't mean anything by it. I just happened to be heading to the Yuan residence. Would you like to come with me?"
